Description:
Rift is a Covenant creation discovered recently. It is a large multi leveled structure hovering over a giant chasm. Human scientists have uncovered what uses it held. This cold cavern was a proving ground for advancing Elites. The Elite would be locked inside with 3 Brutes that had all been sentenced to death for varying crimes against their god. The chamber holds this multi purpose by training their bravest Elites and following through with the finality of a heretic Brute's death sentence.

This map is made for 2-8 players. While the interior of the cave may seem small, the map makes up for it in vertical space. I love the lighting possibilities inside this room. Objects will shift from green to blue to deep black depending on where you place them. Combined with the bright yellow energy blockers and flickering green teleporters, this map is the most vibrant visually that I've made. Most of the usable space is taken up all the way down to the death barrier. On the bottom level there is a circular platform. If you stand on the bottom of the platform you are fine, but crouch down and the guardians will take you. That is the lowest point in the map. There are three distinct floors and on each floor there are secondary raised platforms. This makes for many different combinations of combat from different heights. The bottom level also houses a darkened corner where the Beam Rifle spawns. I had to use man cannons to light up the area because it was pitch black when I started working in there. The main structure on the bottom level is the home of the Fuel Rod spawn, which is sloped up into a semi-shielded area with a teleporter on either side. Both teleporters lead to the top level bridge that goes along to the sword spawn. The third way back up from the bottom is a grav lift located on a half raised watchtower base directly below the lower main lift. The main level is home to the Energy Blocker/Teleporter stairs and a large ramp structure elevated above the main floor. The teleporter on that structure also leads to the top level bridge. The corners of the main level include the watchtower base sniper spawn, another Energy Blocker stairwell, a BR glass enclosure, and a ramp up to the floating double watchtower bridge.

Important: Make sure you turn off suicide penalties both on points and spawn time. It can get annoying if you fall off a couple of times.
